Lawn Fawn CHA Winter 2012 Challenge! - card #2

I debated and debated and debated again about submitting this card for Lawn Fawn's CHA challenge. I made this little card for my hubby and had already posted it on my blog and in Flicker some time ago...but I really really love it, and really wanted to submit it. After all the debating most of the day...hubby said I should just do it...guessing he was tired of listening to me ;)

I love this card for several reasons...the bright fun colors, sparkles (stickles), sentiment and just the overall funness of the whole thing.

Hope ya'll don't mind me re-posting this card...thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn CHA Winter 2012 Challenge

What an amazing opportunity Lawn Fawn has for us!!! Did you see this post?!?!?! WOW is all I can say. I know there is a prize involved, but in my opinion just having a card in their catalog and that card being in their booth at the CHA is reward enough...they have gone over the top with this one :)

Well there's nothing like being down to the wire and some pressure is there? I've been working hard the last few days making sketch after sketch to come up with my perfect card to submit. I like everything I came up with, but I didn't think they were worthy of submitting. For some reason I just kept coming back a certain one several times so I decided to make a mock up card and see if my idea worked....it almost did lol. I originally planned to have two rows of tickets in a chevron pattern but the tickets are just too wide so I could only do one row. I still love the way it turned out though so I made a final version and here it is....

 I stamped and cut out the ferris wheel and tickets. I added a little rhinestones to the cars and stickles to the tickets to make them pop.

Well I hope ya liked it.....

WCMD - Lawn Fawn Style

For WCMD Lawn Fawn came up with something kinda like what Wendy and I did over on our DeNami Addict blog...We challenged you to not only make a card, but to ACTUALLY send it. Lawn Fawn's challenge is better by far...they added a twist...a prise for a couple of randomly chosen people!! Can I get a WOOT? Love those kind of challenges...especially when it involves Lawn Fawn...I be needin' me some more of their stamps for sure (especially that darling snowman set that Archivers was out of)!

Needless to say, I just HAD to enter this little challenge! While I didn't make a card for a loved one like was suggested...I made a card that I thought was fitting. I am making cards to send into the OWH organization. They say you can include what they call an "any hero" card. This is a card that goes directly to a solider from you. Since our soldiers are half way around the world, I thought I'd make one for the box of cards I'm getting ready to send out. I wasn't going to, I mean, what can I say to them...a thank you just isn't enough now is it? I'm glad that Lawn Fawn got me thinking about it again and ya know, I feel pretty happy about sending the card...I mean, I'm sitting in my safe comfy home surrounded by my loved ones....it's the least I SHOULD do.
